Dallas police said no arrests have been made and they are continuing their search for the shooter.

Officers arrived at the second-floor apartment shortly after midnight following a report of a disturbance. They found a woman injured from a gunshot wound just inside the home and a man who had been shot in a back bedroom.

Paramedics rushed the woman to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, where she died later. The man died at the scene.

The woman was identified as 32-year-old Venora Cranford, local station KTVT reported. The man has yet to be identified.

Detectives said the woman was shot after answering the door, perhaps to greet someone she knew.
